Hello. I have recently been exposed to a very nasty trick of the europeans.

I have beeen cornered while being WAAAAAY too strong to take head on... and so one of my enemys revolted and surrounded me with forts. I couldn't bust out of the blockade, but then realized I HAD to or else lose my ally, and soon after lose my own village.

So, playing as the dutch, I came up with this ingenius plan: I sent in ja buncha carbiners and hussars, with mamelukes, stradiots, and hackapells, to draw the fire of the forts... and then I blew them up with petards. It was a very effective way of busting out and being able to put a village within my allys city limits... very soon after I busted out my adversarys normally woulda attacked my ally, but they were defending the forts. I also killed the fort support, so they couldn't just retreat to a powerful area. My cavelry overcame them. They had no army to beat me up.

With the Sioux Dog soldiers and War Club spam with seige dance will kill most buildings faster then you can say bob's your uncle. Thanks, Neverseperat, for that.

The iriquois can break out nearly as easily as the europeans. Just use mantlets to draw the fire and use rams to defeat the forts. If you can fit in, say, musket riders and tomohawks (iriquois muskets), more power to ya. I might want to put in some light cannon if I were you, just in case they wisen up and target the rams.

The Aztecs may seem as hopeless as the souix, but remember the arrow knights, notice they got runners as cavelry, use the eagle runners {and} the coyote runners to draw the fire and use puma spearmen, jag knights, macehaultins and puma spearmen to protect the arrow knights, and you suddenly realize their not so bad off, in fact are almost better off then the europeans.

(a. Try not to get this blockade set on you. (b. if you do, you now have this guide to help you. (c. if it doesn't, you have permission to sue me.

Ahah, this is vs a computer opponent, right?

One that can't distinguish between a major threat and a diversion, so it attacks the closest unit?

Metis made a grammar mistake.

Someone a while back caught me in a grammar mistake too. You now are a member of an elite club. Well done.
